Which adhesives work best for this kit?

Standard polystyrene cement or CA glue both work; use cement for seams and thin CA for small or clear parts, taking care around the canopy.

How do I handle painting fine panel lines?

Pre-shade or use subtle washes to accent panel lines, and thin your paints for even coats to preserve the kit's engraved details.

What is the best way to apply decals?

Use a gloss base coat, apply decal setting solution if needed, and seal with a clear coat once decals have fully cured to protect markings.

How should I display the finished model?

Consider a simple plinth or a small runway diorama to emphasise the aircrafts lines; avoid direct sunlight to protect paint and decals.
